While much of Hawaii's islands are flush with resort-size hotels, Montage Kapalua Bay, on Maui's northwest shore, is an intimate oceanfront hideaway with just 50 suites, ranging from one to four bedrooms.

Access to the 22,000-acre Kapaula Resort area means you never have to leave -- especially with live music nightly and four restaurants.
